| Abstract |
This collection of 28 documents about the peoples of the Woleai Region focuses primarily on the atoll of Ifaluk, and contains information on three time periods: the early 20th century, the late 1940s-mid-1950s, and the late 1980s to the early 1990s. The earliest information comes from travel reports by German explorers and missionaries who lived and worked in the region from 1904-1910; the other writings are by professional anthropologists. Together, the documents show that life in this region remains largely traditional, despite many years of administration by successive external powers. The Woleai Region is an administrative section of Yap State of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Woleai is the largest group of closely related atolls in the central and west-central Caroline Islands that also includes Eauripik, Ifaluk, Faraulep, Elato, and Lamotrek. Residents label themselves by means of a nominal prefixed to their particular island name, as in reweleya, which means "person of Woleai (nationality)" and speak dialects of Woleaian, a Micronesian language of the Eatern Oceanic Branch of Austronesian. |
